It’s wonderful to be the editor of Rockstar CMO, I get the gift of sitting in the front row and hearing this wonderful band of writers. So as we approach the UK holidays and celebrate the US Thanksgiving, I thought I’d destroy a beloved Christmas carol with our gifts for the 12 days of Christmas.


I am in London and despite our multiculturalism, we haven’t quite transitioned to wishing everyone ‘Happy Holidays’. Christmas is still the thing and while The 12 days of Christmas may not be the most Rockstar of carols (I really should have gone with something by Slade) I wondered what Rockstar CMO has brought to me.

Sing with me…

On the twelfth day of Christmas, Rockstar CMO gave to me – an issue dedicated to fakery

Our twelfth issue was dedicated to a topic that remains relevant – all the fakery that seems to be plaguing marketing and how to keep it real. The Pretender Issue was a genuine gift that’s worth opening again.


The song is too short to mention all of the great stuff our Rockstar CMOs have kindly shared over our 20 issues, but the best gift is the community we are building, you for reading and sharing.

Thank you!
